IN.01 Inventory Items


Items are defined as the goods and services that an organization orders and stocks as inventory or
transports to customers. Before using items in PeopleSoft Inventory, you must set them up in the
system by adding names, descriptions, dimensions, and item attributes. Items are shared by
multiple PeopleSoft applications, which include PeopleSoft Inventory, Purchasing, and Customer
Relationship Management.
This lesson discusses how to add items, set defaults, and set up other aspects of inventory items.
The lesson also discusses item defaults, item templates, the Item Copy feature, and business unit
links.
Upon successful completion of this lesson, you will be able to:
Define item at SetID level
Define item attributes by unit
Define item unit of measure conversion
Define items for inventory
Enter item approval

IN.01.01 Defining Item at SetID Level


To stock items, you need to order them. For all items that you order, corresponding entries about
item details and attributes are made in the PeopleSoft Inventory system. These entries are stored
in item tables. Each time you enter or change an item, the item tables are automatically modified.
As a result, all item details and attributes are available to purchasing and inventory users alike for
business transaction purposes. Items must be defined and approved before processing any
inventory transactions for the item. Setting up item IDs help maintain consistency in operations
and reduce data entry time.
In this topic, you will learn to define an item under a particular SetID level in the PeopleSoft
Inventory system.

IN.01.03 Defining Item Purchasing Attributes


After you have identified the items to purchase, you can predefine purchasing attributes for these
items, and reduce the amount of data entry required during the actual purchasing process. If you
define which vendors you want to purchase and receive specific items from and the guidelines
regarding those shipments and receipts, you can avoid re-entering the same information each time
you want to order those items.
PeopleSoft Purchasing enables you to specify the definition, category ID, primary buyer,
substitute items, and pricing information for all items entered. Items can be shared across
business units. Items are used in Purchasing, Order Management, and Inventory. This topic
describes the concepts and procedures involved in defining item attributes for managing items.

IN.01.04 Defining Item Unit of Measure Conversion


Units of measure determine how items are quantified. Each item must be associated with a
standard unit of measure. Units of measure are used by PeopleSoft Inventory to track the quantity
of each item and also to provide dimension and capacity information to storage locations.
Standardization of the units of measure helps you control the units that appear in reports and
enables you to take advantage of PeopleSoft Inventory's automatic conversion features. It is
recommended that when selecting a unit of measure for an item, you select the smallest valid unit
of measure for that item.
In this topic, you will learn how to define alternate units of measure for an item and the
conversion rate for converting it into the standard unit of measure.

IN.02 Inventory Facility Structure


PeopleSoft Inventory can reflect different storage levels within an inventory business unit. An
inventory business unit consists of storage areas, which can be divided into storage levels.

IN.02.01 Defining Inventory Storage Areas


For each business unit, you define storage areas made up of storage levels. A storage area is a
division of a business unit used to store material and to track inventory transactions. Your storage
areas might include shipping and receiving docks, staging areas, warehouse zones, and inspection
and quality control departments. Each storage area can be divided into a maximum of four levels,
with each level representing a physical subdivision of the area. The combination of a storage area
and that area's most detailed storage level constitutes a storage location. Each storage location is
identified by area and level.
In this topic, you will learn to define inventory storage areas.

IN.10 Quantity Adjustments


PeopleSoft Inventory enables you to make stock adjustments. For example, you can account for
quantities that are misplaced or damaged. The Adjustments component of PeopleSoft Inventory
performs ad hoc quantity adjustments at any given storage location. The Adjustments page of the
Adjustments component enables you to increase or decrease the on-hand balance of an item that
is stocked in a particular storage location.
When you save the Adjustments page, on hand quantities are updated.
In this topic, you will learn to enter quantity adjustments in PeopleSoft Inventory.

IN.10.01 Quantity Adjustments


Using the Adjustments page, you can adjust quantities that currently exist in inventory locations
or add quantities to locations not previously used for the item.
To adjust quantities in an existing location, click the Search/Add link to access the Selection
Criteria page.
Enter item information and click OK to return the existing stock quantities and locations to the
Adjustments page where you can alter the quantities.
To add missing quantities to a location not previously used for the item (that is, when the system
has no rows of existing stock), click the Search/Add link to access the Selection Criteria page.
Enter the item ID and click OK. The system informs you that no rows exist and gives you the
option to add rows, search zero quantity locations, or cancel. If you add rows, the system returns
you to the Adjustments page and makes the Item Information group box available for you to enter
item quantities in a location not previously used for this item.

IN.14 Transaction Accounting


Once you have entered transactions into PeopleSoft Inventory, the system is ready to cost the
transactions using the Transaction Costing process (CM_COSTING), and then create the
accounting entries using the Accounting Line Creation process (CM_ALC).
Inventory transactions are stored in the TRANSACTION_INV table. The Transaction Costing
process picks up these transactions and attaches a cost to these inventory transactions based on
the cost profiles. For actual and average costed items that are manufactured in PeopleSoft
Manufacturing, this process can calculate the actual production costs. Transaction Costing also
calculates purchase price variances and exchange rate variances. The Accounting Line Creation
process picks up the calculated costs, creates the accounting entries, and stores the entries in the
CM_ACCTG_LINE table.
You use the Unposted Line Edit page to change the accounting entries before they are posted to
the general ledger. Once, you are satisfied with the entries, use the Journal Generator process
(JRNL_GEN_REQUEST) to summarize the accounting entries into journal entries. PeopleSoft
General Ledger can then post the journal entries to the correct ledgers.
Upon completion of this lesson, you will be able to:
Enter Inventory Transaction Accounting
Create Accounting Entry Lines
Edit Unposted Accounting Line
Run the Journal Generator Process
View Unposted Accounting Lines

IN.14.06 Costing and accounting entry


The Transaction Costing process performs the following functions:
Checks each transaction and makes an entry based on standard cost for each element that make
up for the items cost.
Calculates and updates the weighted average cost and actual cost of items having cost profiles
that use actual, periodic average, or perpetual average cost methods.
Checks each transaction record and determines the item's cost, based on the cost in effect at the
time of the transaction.
Based on transaction accounting rules, this process creates the accounting entry lines for each
transaction and populates the table CM_ACCTG_LINE, which is used by the Journal
Generator process. From the Journal Generator process, journal entries are made for posting to
the general ledger.
In this topic, you will learn to enter inventory transactions in PeopleSoft Inventory.
Several transactions are made in business unit, US010, of your company. You need to prepare
costs for these transactions in PeopleSoft Inventory.
